Roger Collins: What do you want?
Victoria Winters Clark: I think I left a drawing in here.
Roger Collins: It's on the table.
Victoria Winters Clark: Oh, thank you. I think David would kill me if I lost this.
Roger Collins: My son might kill you even if you didn't.
Victoria Winters Clark: It's very good. Have you seen it?
Roger Collins: Yes, I saw it.
Victoria Winters Clark: He's got a real potential in drawing.
Roger Collins: Miss Winters, I am in no mood to discuss David's talents, great or small.
Victoria Winters Clark: I think this is important. We all know how destructive he's been.
Roger Collins: Yes, we know.
Victoria Winters Clark: But this is creative, and something he likes to do.
Roger Collins: I see. And you intend to nurture this sudden urge of creativity?
Victoria Winters Clark: I think it's a way of reaching him, and showing him the world isn't completely hostile.
Roger Collins: What makes you think it isn't? Have you ever thought that David's view might be the correct one?
Victoria Winters Clark: You don't think that.
Roger Collins: Oh, don't I, though? I was once nine years old, as David is. But unlike him, Miss Winters, I was filled with joy and the spirit of living, with love and the promise of a good, full life ahead. Well, maybe it's far better to be nine years old and know how ugly life can be.

Tulku: Cranston; Lamont Cranston.
Lamont Cranston: You know my real name?

Victoria Winters: My name is Victoria Winters. My journey is beginning. A journey that I hope will open the doors of life to me and link my past with my future. A journey that will bring me to a strange and dark place, to the edge of the sea high atop Widows' Hill - a house called Collinwood. A world I've never known, with people I've never met. People who tonight are still only shadows in my mind, but who will soon fill the days and nights of my tomorrows.
